New Delhi: Nearly a week after Canadian PM Justin Trudeau landed in India, prime minster Narendra Modi Thursday tweeted that he looked forward to meeting Trudeau and holding talks on further strengthening India-Canada relations in all spheres.
"I look forward to meeting PM @JustinTrudeau tomorrow and holding talks on further strengthening India-Canada relations in all spheres. I appreciate his deep commitment to ties between our two countries," Modi tweeted.
PM Modi not receiving Trudeau at the airport, a courtesy he extended to some world leaders in the past, had triggered speculation in Canada that it was a snub for the rising Sikh radicalism in that country.
However, government sources here had strongly rejected the speculation, insisting normal diplomatic protocol has been extended to Trudeau.
"I hope PM @JustinTrudeau and his family had a very enjoyable stay so far. I particularly look forward to meeting his children Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien," the PM said in another tweet.
He also posted a picture from his 2015 Canada visit when he had met Trudeau and Ella-Grace.
